Wednesday Weirdness


Good evening folks. I trust that you are all well and tuning in for another dose of Davenelli's nonsense.
As you all know by now Wednesday is list day on this blog. I had a number of suitable topics in mind this morning until I logged on and found a message from my new friend Shandi, you know she of the good blog. Anyway Shandi had decided to include me in her game of tag and challenged me to list six facts about myself that could be considered weird.
Now at first glance this appears to be one of the easiest challenges that anyone could set however after three hours and only two facts I decided that it was time to recruit some assistance. And after some consultation with my colleagues we managed to compile this...
The Top 10 Reasons Davenelli Could Be Considered Weird
  1. I have absolutely no idea what noise any of the cell/mobile phones that I have owned make when they ring. When I get a new phone I immediately set it to either silent or vibrate mode.
  2. My favourite colour is purple. I personally don't see anything wrong with this, after all it worked ok for Prince, but the ladies I work with have confirmed that this is odd in a man.
  3. I am Scottish yet I loathe the sound of bagpipes. To me the noise of this instrument is like listening to Top Cat being savaged by Mutley.
  4. My CD's and LP's must always be kept in alphabetical order. For years I have tried to claim that this is only to assist with locating them but hey, we all know the truth.
  5. I am somewhat obsessed with the career of movie actor Gary Busey. imdb.com has 133 entries listed for him yet I bet you couldn't name one film that he has appeared in apart from Lethal Weapon. The man seems incapable of saying no to a role regardless of how much of a dog the project is. Good on him I say.
  6. When my home telephone rings I always try to guess who is calling before I answer the call. If my mind decides that the mystery caller is someone I would rather avoid at that moment I'll let my answering service pick up the call.
  7. I almost never watch TV.
  8. I have never owned a pair of slippers.
  9. I like my coffee to be extremely strong and black yet I refuse to add brown sugar. I will only add white.
  10. I fear beetroot

You could also add to this list the fact that I always feel the need to tell one lie in surveys like this. The question is, which one of these "facts" is bogus? Answers on a post card to...

For a little self analysis you could do worse than try this for yourself. Trust me it is more difficult than it appears.

Anyway, as is tradition I'll leave you with a joke.

Two fish in a tank, one fish says to the other...

"do you know how to drive this thing?"

Rule of blogging number 362 - Never tell your family you blog!

It's got to be number 8 cos I remember you having a little blue pair with dogs heads on the front that you used to wear with your superman pyjamas.

As for number 10 - Doesn't everyone fear beetroot?

What the hell is beetroot?

Sis ratted you out. Was that at the last family get-together?

Shandi -

Here is your Kern county translation:

Beetroot = Beets

Personally, I am willing to bet that he still secretly has those Superman PJ's. But who knows? Maybe Mrs Davenelli likes them?!?!?!?!?!

Ohhhhh BEETS!!! I know those... they come pickeled in little cans, great with Thanksgiving Turkey or served as a trailer trash appetizer like black olives. Being from California, the only roots I know come from a bad dye job.

Thanks Chief.
